I tried this out using the Big Three xslt processors, and depending on the
stylesheet, I got a big difference for msxml3 vs. (Saxon and Xalan). Hard
to believe at this late date. Here is the stylesheet that gives
differences:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select='//text()'/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Results:
===> msxml3:
bar
===> Saxon and Xalan (and Sablotron and XT):
bar
baz
quux
Putting the "//text()" up in the select attribute of the template works the
same in all three (it returns all three strings).
This is a bit unnerving - what else does msxml3 disagree with the others on
that could lead to a really big difference?
Cheers,
